The spaceship Shenzhou-6, carrying two Chinese astronauts, Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, blasted off at 9 o'clock Wednesday from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China's northwestern Gansu Province.
Some 40 minutes later, the chief commander of China's manned space program, Chen Bingde, declared the launch has been successful.
The astronauts, in orbit about 350 kilometers above the Earth's surface, said they were "feeling well" and everything was normal.

They reported to the doctor on the ground that they were well and their physical conditions were good.
In a brief speech at the Launch Center, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao hailed the successful launch of Shenzhou-6, reiterating China's policy for the peaceful use of space.

"China's space program, which is purely for peaceful purposes, is a contribution to human science and peace. China is willing to cooperate with other nations in the development of space science and technology."
Also in his speech, Wen Jiabao praised those institutions and individuals involved for their efforts in carrying forward the country's manned space program, in overcoming all kinds of difficulties and for their plentiful achievements.
Two years ago, China's first manned spacecraft, the Shenzhou-5, which was independently developed by China, carried astronaut Yang Liwei into space.
At that moment China became the third country to carry out a manned space mission, after the United States and Russia.
Vice Commander in Chief of China's manned spaceflight program, Hu Shixiang, says although the space program started late, it has been of major significance.
(act in Chinese, 2a/soundbite/1012 Hu)
"Manned space flight has significance for the politics, economy and technology of a country. It demonstrates a nation's overall competence. It's a major means to promote the development of the hi-tech and other industry sectors."
Over the next few days, the two astronauts will transfer from the return module into the orbital module of the 9.2-meter-long Shenzhou-6, where they will conduct some laboratory tests.
This will be the first time that Chinese astronauts have undertaken such manoeuvres in space.
